For years, big budget science fiction flicks have shown us highly stylized end-of-the-world scenarios involving asteroids. Sometimes the heroes have a plan to avert disaster, and sometimes they don’t, but you can bet that if (more like when) a rogue space rock eventually threatens humans lives, NASA will be on top of it.

This week, NASA, FEMA, and their scientific partners in countries around the world will put decades of research and knowledge to work as they simulate a full-scale asteroid impact scenario. The idea is to test the lines of communication between scientists, government entities, and disaster response teams in a carefully choreographed exercise that could save countless lives in the event of an actual asteroid strike.

OnePlus will unveil its brand new phones in a matter of weeks, and we already think we know everything there is to know about these devices. The Chinese handset maker will launch three new phones as part of the OnePlus 7 series, including a regular model, a more expensive OnePlus 7 Pro, and a Pro 5G version. We have a pretty good idea of what these phones will have to offer and how expensive the Pro model will be. We’ve also seen plenty of renders that show the alleged designs of the OnePlus 7 and OnePlus 7 Pro. While those renders may be accurate, they’re still not official images of the handset. But a new leak from China shows us what appears to be the first public sighting of the OnePlus 7 Pro.

This past weekend brought us two of the most hotly anticipated releases of 2019. After a year of waiting, we finally got to see Avengers: Endgame, a film that shattered all box office records by taking in a monster $1.2 billion haul so far. It’s an emotional, epic superhero adventure that has no rival. Then, on Sunday night, the battle we’ve wanted to see for a decade finally arrived in Game of Thrones. Episode 3 delivered a great clash that easily eclipses any other battles from Game of Thrones or rival TV shows. And as was the case in Avengers 4, some key characters died in this one, and we’re about to detail all the main characters we just lost. Needless to say, you should stop reading right here if you haven’t yet seen Game of Thrones season 8, episode 3, because significant spoilers follow below.

Did you somehow miss the news last week when we told you that Apple’s brand new AirPods 2 cord-free earbuds had just gotten their first big discount? Well if you did, we’ve got good news and bad news. The good news is that the Apple AirPods 2 with Charging Case is still available for $139.99 instead of $159. It’s the first big discounts on Apple’s second-generation true wireless earbuds, and it’s actually already better than most sales we saw on the first-gen version. The bad news, however, is that Amazon’s inventory is completely sold out. You can still buy them at the discounted price of $139.99, but it’s unclear how soon they’ll ship. When things like this have happened in the past with popular products, orders have typically shipped within a couple of weeks. Whatever the case, you should definitely take advantage of this deal because it’ll likely end soon and there’s no telling when it might be back.

Apple AirPods with Charging Case (Latest Model): $139.99

Here’s more info from the product page:

• Automatically on, automatically connected
• Easy setup for all your Apple devices
• Quick access to Siri by saying “Hey Siri”
• Double-tap to play or skip forward
• New Apple H1 headphone chip delivers faster wireless connection to your devices
• Charges quickly in the case
• Case can be charged using the Lightning connector
• Rich, high-quality audio and voice
• Seamless switching between devices
• Listen and talk all day with multiple charges from the Charging Case

We still have almost five months left to wait before Apple unveils the new iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Max, and iPhone 11R, or whatever the company ends up calling its iPhone XR successor. That’s quite a long time — nearly half a smartphone generation — but so many details surrounding the new iPhones have already leaked. Much of what we know can be attributed to TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who remains the top Apple insider in the world. Kuo is plugged into Apple’s supply chain and shares all sorts of early details with his clients. He also shares them with a few Apple blogs, so we all know what to expect long before Apple releases new iPhones each year.

According to Kuo, the iPhone 11 series will feature a huge camera upgrade for both the iPhone 11 and 11 Max, while the iPhone 11R will be bumped up from a single-lens rear camera to a dual-lens cam. He also says Apple’s new iPhones will have new frosted glass backs and a few more subtle design changes. Of course, Kuo isn’t the only one who leaks information about unreleased Apple products, and a new leak supposedly shows us the final designs of Apple’s upcoming iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Max.
